The Chiefs and Eagles are each favored to win their conference championship games, setting the stage for a rematch of Super Bowl LVII. Of course, the Bills and Commanders have other plans. Here’s how each scores an upset victory. (odds via ESPN)
Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles (-5.5)
Sunday’s game will mark the fifth time division rivals have played for the conference championship since the NFL’s realignment in 2002. The teams split their regular season series with Washington using a five-touchdown performance from quarterback Jayden Daniels to beat Philadelphia 36-33 in their most recent matchup.
Of course, the Commanders committed five turnovers (two interceptions, three fumbles) in that game, something the Eagles failed to take advantage of with quarterback Jalen Hurts missing most of the game with a concussion. Hurts hasn’t thrown an interception since Week 10 and had only five all year. That must change if the Commanders hope to get past the Eagles this weekend.
The Commanders had four interceptions on Lions quarterback Jared Goff on Saturday, including two from rookie cornerback Mike Sainristil and a 40-yard pick-six from safety Quan Martin. They also forced a fumble that led to the team’s first touchdown.
